NOLAN GOFF

Nolan Goff is a son and a brother and friend and a filmmaker. He was born and raised a storyteller in the sparse landscape of Texas, where he fell down a cinematic black hole in the aisles of Blockbuster Video. Over the last half-decade, Nolan has cut his teeth while building the content and creative engine at the Los Angeles based agency Matte Black. As both Creative Director and Director, Nolan has created dynamic, cross-channel campaigns for the world’s foremost lifestyle brands — including Nike, lululemon and W Hotels. Most recently, his multi-layered storytelling for Nike’s 2019 Air Max campaign brought together a wide range of his cinematic influences, blurring the lines between Amblin-like nostalgia, neo-noir influenced music and setting, and ‘The Twilight Zone’. During this time, he’s also created doc-narrative human interest stories, including lulululmon’s ‘Take Flight’ campaign featuring the work of the Parisian-based textile designer Janaina Milheiro.

Nolan’s narrative work includes his short dramatic film ’Nobody Knows’, which received the Grand Jury Prize for Short Film at the Lone Star Film Festival and was an official selection at the Austin Film Festival in 2018. His work has been lauded as a Vimeo Staff Pick, screened at festivals across the globe, and featured on Booooom, Filmmaker Magazine, and Director’s Notes.

Currently, Nolan is in production on his next short dramatic picture, ‘Bite The Hand’, starring Liana Liberato, while also developing two feature length narratives and a television series. He lives in Los Angeles, but Texas remains his home.
